+### Please describe the problem.
+On Windows, attempting to annex get from a remote over HTTP fails. URLs which are nearly correct, but have incorrect slashes, are sent.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+1. Create an annex on Linux.
+2. Configure repository for HTTP access
+3. Clone annex on Windows.
+4. "git annex get ."
+5. git annex makes requests for urls like the following: http://host/repo/.git/annex/objects\<3-char-hash>\<3-char-hash>\SHA<file hash>
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+Windows 7: 4.20140627-g8a36ec5 (from the git-annex download page)
+
+Debian Linux: 3.20120629 (from the package manager)
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+placing a wrapper script in front of wget which replaces '\' with '/' works around the issue, and allows git annex get to complete.
